Coconut Lime Whipped Body Lotion

I created this awesome smelling Coconut Lime Whipped Body Lotion because I am a lotion junkie! I love lotions – yummy smelling lotions. There is lotion on my nightstand, in my purse, in my car, bathroom counter… you get the picture. I’m pretty picky about my lotions. I want them to be creamy, but not too greasy… something that will keep my skin feeling moisturized for hours… and of course it needs to smell A-MAZING! So I thought I do some experimenting and see if I could create my own. One of my favorite lotion smells is coconut lime (yes I like to imagine I’m on a tropical island) so … that I’m LOVING!

You won’t believe how easy this is to make! I’m a HUGE fan of coconut oil. I love slathering it on after a hot bath or shower. I have really dry skin, especially in the winter, and my skin just loves to soak up the coconut oil.

Doesn’t it almost look like frosting? You could eat it, but your skin will like it more.

So here’s how you make Whipped Body Lotion…

How to Make Whipped Body Lotion

That’s it! You could totally pick whatever scent you love – but I adore lime with coconut. So place your solid coconut oil in a mixing bowl. I do 1 cup batches, but you could easily do more. Drop in 5-10 drops of lime essential oil. I’d start with 5 and see how strong the scent is for you. Add more if you want a stronger scent.

Turn your mixer to medium and let it whip! I stopped after about 20 seconds to scrape down the sides – then let it go another 10 seconds. Store in your favorite jars.

If you get blazing hot in the summer as we do, you can store your whipped lotion in the fridge as coconut oil will start to melt. The cold lotion feels amazing on your hot skin.

These are a great gift idea too – perfect for mother’s day, birthdays, Christmas…
